Hook 42 has run four Drupal multilingual trainings at BADCamp since 2012, which has been a lot of fun. The first three years were focused on Drupal 7 only, and last year our training was split between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8. At all of these trainings, we had the great fortune of having the Lingotek team help us mentor students during the self-paced training as well as give a quick peek at their translation software.
This year we are happy to announce that we are officially partnering with Lingotek for an all-day Drupal 8 multilingual training at BADCamp.
What: Drupal 8 Multilingual Websites Training
When: Friday October 21, 2016, 8am to 5pm
Where: BADCamp 2016, UC Berkeley
Who: For intermediate site builders, developers, themers, and project managers
Why: Because Drupal 8 multilingual is amazing!
If you don't know already, creating multilingual websites in Drupal 7 is very challenging. The good news is that it's so much simpler in Drupal 8. What takes 20+ modules in Drupal 7, can be handled by 4 core modules in Drupal 8. We'll go over some key differences between Drupal 7 and 8, and walk through a hands-on lab to create a multilingual Drupal 8 site.
After creating your own multilingual sites, Lingotek will demo the Lingotek - Inside Drupal 8 Module and show how it integrates with their cloud-based translation management system (TMS). They will demonstrate how the TMS can translate, localize, update, and publish global content all within a single, uninterrupted workflow.
After Lingotek's demo, we'll move on to some more advanced topics such as challenges when migrating to Drupal 8 from older versions of Drupal. At the end of the day, we'll open up the room for a Q&A session to address some of your project-specific multilingual questions and concerns.
